Why the LA? Look at the macro expansion. Also, PARAM specifies the
parameter list, not the address of the parameter list. If VFCARGL is a
correct parameter list, removed the PARAMS keyword; if not, specify
PARAM as the address of the DC H'0' rather than the address of a DC A
pointing to it.

The same thing goes for CALL, although there it's a positional
parameter.

What's in your SYSIN data set?

I doubt it.
